992 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri M. Ananthasayanam Ayyangar : Did not the previous Law Member want to bring about a resolution to take action under section 299 and other sections of the Government of India Act to avoid appeals going to the Privy Council in certain matters ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I do not know if that position remains as it was I admit that the Law Member then was proposing action as referred to by my honourable friend but there was nothing in contemplation with reference to the making of the new Constitution.
Mr. Speaker : Order, order. Will the honourable Member, Mr. Ayyangar, ask for the information ? This seems to be going into an argument.
Shri M. Ananthasayanam Ayyangar : I did ask for the information. But the honourable Member does not appear to know what has gone on before !
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: I said I am aware of it !
Shri M. Ananthasayanam Ayyangar : Does the honourable Member propose to take action under the present Government of India Act ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I do not think such an action can be taken when we know that within a few months the new Constitution will be framed.
Shri K. Santhanam : Is the honuorable Member aware that if the establishment of a Supreme Court is delayed till the new Constituent Assembly there will be great transitional difficulties when the Constitution comes into force ?
Mr. Speaker : Order, order. It is a question of opinion.
